Powerful Tools for Caregivers®

Powerful Tools for Caregivers® is an education program to help family and friends caring for older adults with long-term health conditions (e.g., stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, and others).

Powerful Tools helps caregivers develop skills and confidence to better care for themselves while caring for others. It is a six-week series led by trained facilitators using a standardized curriculum. The weekly topics range from reducing your stress to communicating in challenging situation and mastering caregiving decisions.

Many caregivers have found this class beneficial, including those caring for a spouse or partner, or adult children caring for parents. The older adult you are caring for can be living with you, in a nearby community or across the country.
